E FORCE ake a look at an extraordinary Star Wars themed home office in the USA.
so much with it. The ability to customise with it is incredible. It really stands out from the competition for its thickness options and finishes. I also love the seamless look.”
She continues: “I knew the product was going to deliver what I was looking for, while giving a timeless look.”
Distributor Evolv Surfaces and Natural Stone Design Fabrication helped bring Miche’s vision to life with the materials and expertise needed for the custom motif.
Rob comments on the design: “The Neolith materials are just fantastic. Their matte finish goes well with the lived-in universe of Star Wars. It’s not your typical science fiction design where everything is shiny, new and utopian.”
JEDI DESIGN TRICKS Beyond the flooring, lighting played an important role in bringing the space together. Behind Rob’s desk, two large wall panels recall the fight scene between Obi Wan and Darth Vader in Episode IV A New Hope, while the rest of the office panels draw inspiration from the iconic ‘I am your father’ scene. In the adjacent room, a life-size replica of Han Solo arrested in carbonite is backlit by a panel, referencing the moment in which he’s frozen by the ruthless Vader.
While the office is for working and studying, the lounge is for relaxation. This is where Rob surrounds himself with his memorabilia, from high-end costumes to smaller pieces, like an X-wing pilot helmet and replica blaster, signed by one of the actors. The lounge also features one of Rob’s other design requests. Miche explains: “He asked for one James Bond element, like a secret passageway. So, we hid his TV behind the metal-clad fireplace, which he can reveal with a remote control when he wants to watch something.”
While Rob acknowledges he is more into Star Wars than his wife or children will ever be, it’s become a family interest, with all of them going together to every newly-released film on opening day. Rob’s even provided space in the lounge in which the rest of the Equis can work – surrounded by Boba Fett, Han Solo and the family pet, a labradoodle nicknamed ‘Chewy’.
